Maybe you were not aware that GTA has taken in a billion dollars? Or don't know what that number means?

Maybe you don't realize that taking in $1B means they were doing just fine without this bug fix. Faster load times amount to "Oh isn't that's nice".

After reading his account of finding this, how long do you think it took him? 10 hours? 20? 40? That's $250 to $1000/hour for something he did out of curiosity.

250$ a DAY would be a nice salary here in Latvia.

I don't think anyone here can get anything close to those numbers you specify... but you could try to hire him and make a nice offer :)

Oh my good lord that was a serious eye-opener. I’m not American but can’t imagine it’s drastically different in the UK. I’ve lost a huge amount of money in the last year and also my car decided to die on me, I’m currently scraping together 3 grand or so to get a new one at the moment. So many people I know are struggling at the moment too. Meanwhile Jeff Bezos is probably sleeping like a baby.
